Pincushion Hill Climb

Ready to challenge gravity and test your limits? Join us at the exhilarating Pincushion Hill Climb, where competitors charge up a grueling one-mile ascent from the San Joaquin River Trailhead to Pincushion Mountain’s summit. Feel the rush of competition with chip timing keeping track of your sprint toward triumph, vying for the prestigious top three spots in both male and female categories, with additional prizes for age group and Clydesdale/Athena division victors. Every runner will bask in the glory of conquering the climb, earning a custom finisher award and an event shirt to flaunt their achievement.

But for the most dauntless, the Mountain Goat Edition awaits! Go beyond the ordinary with multiple ascents 'til noon, and claim the coveted title of a true Mountain Goat. This is not just about the climb; it's about how many times you can conquer the peak. Remember, the first descent is the scenic route, but afterward, choose your path. Conquer at least two climbs to etch your name in the Mountain Goat hall of fame, complete with exclusive awards for the mightiest climbers. Come, ascend into legend!
